you missed my point....what i meant by hip hop not being dead was that fans actually went out and bought his record. people were bitching that he signed with jay and people were saying he would not say...in that sense i was saying hip hop ain't dead homie...i heard the album. check all the forums. i was the first to say, this album is ill and yes sir i heard the lass track. and also, nas always says it, he doesn't like promoting his stuff. my boy owns a record store, he has told me that many people are checking for the nas album because of the title alone. go figure.
